TRAVEL HEALTH PREP

JAPAN RUGBY WORLD CUP 2019

Our boys in green and gold have invested months of preparation, readying themselves for this global event. Be sure not to miss a match! Prepare yourself with our practical travel-health checklist and guide.

Travel Health Checklist

Obtain comprehensive travel health insurance, as:

Japan is more expensive than SA.

A language barrier may necessitate the use of a good medical assistance intermediary.

Obtain a travel-health kit from a reputable travel clinic.

Self-medication for chronic diseases and minor ailments is essential. Language will make it challenging- and our weaker currency expensive- to replace chronic medication.

Remember to bring an extra pair of reading glasses.

Ensure your childhood vaccines are up to date and boosted, in particular:

Measles, mumps and rubella – recent and current outbreaks prevail due to low vaccine coverage.
